Need some suggestions on benchmarking my new system.

Before I break down my current comp in the next couple of days, I'd like to run a few benchmarks to compare to my new setup to see how well my money was spent. I can run the standard PCMark05 and 3DMark05 tests, although I'm a fan of real-world game benchmarks.

I'm getting rid of my s754 3200+, Abit KV8-Max3, BFG 6800GT, and going to an Epox 9NPA+Ultra, A64 X2 3800+, and an eVGA 7800GT.

My problem is I'm not sure how to properly benchmark in the games I surely want to bench, and maybe you guys would suggest something you'd like to see. The games I'd like to bench is UT2K4 and BF2.

TIA

EDIT: By the way, my old system parts are up for sale, follow link in sig if interested.

Try this for Farcry.

And this for HL2.

And finally a benchmark tool for UT2004.

I don't know of any for BF2, but it probably has a built in timedemo feature you could use. Just make sure all your settings (driver settings, in-game settings, AA/AF, etc.) are equal between the two.
